*I use a K (6.50 MM) hook and Red Heart Super Savor Yarn or Caron Simply Soft Yarn. For smaller ears try an F (3.75 MM) hook. The K hook is designed to be adult size. I buy a stack of those cheap, no-slide headbands at Wal-Mart and simply slide the ears on there after they are stuffed and completed. They are also really easy to add on to a beanie, hoodie, or all kinds of other things! Just get creative!

*For the fox ears I like to use Lion Brand Homespun yarn because it’s that kind of yarn you can brush a little and it will flare out all bushy. This makes a nice tuft on the top of the ears after I use the black yarn to sew the front and back of the ears together. I would think any kind of brush-able-into-bushy yarn would work the same.

Sew the bottom of the ear in place, stuffing as you go along. Fasten off and weave in the ends. These ears slide right onto the headbands because of the nice size of the stitches from using the K hook, and also whip up really fast for the same reason!
